MC transformers - what do they sound like?


Besides providing gain, are good quality MC transformers transparent to the signal they are providing the gain to. Or do they give added/reduced bass weight, more high end sparkle, added grain or what?.
This is obviously compared to active gain
It seems that audiophiles either luv or hate MC transformers?.

I was referring to the father (David?). He designs the pruducts while the kids run the company.
My point is that a transformer can yield a lower noise floor than a comparable high gain preamp.
It osunds hofi? that same criticism was made of rhe vendetta.
Dear Gregad: Two things, first my mistake about RIAA eq. deviation, it has to say: 0.1 db instead 1 db. ( big difference ).

About the Manley S/N you have to compare with the fixed output at 65 db gain: 70 db.

About the Vendetta, that was a criticism in the very early models ( many years ago ). The actual CTC ( that inbody the Vendetta ) is very good.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Onhwy61: +++++ " If growing up means becoming as dogmatic and narrow-minded as you are regarding this issue, then I don't want to grow up. " +++++

I don't think I'm dogmatic and certainly not narrow-minded.

In the last 10-12 years we try/test different alternatives for our AHG PP: SS, tubes, hybrid, Fets, Bipolars, Suts, no Suts, etc, etc.
Can you call this narrow-minded and dogmatic?

Now, what is all about?. You agree with me about SUTs.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear friends: +++++ " I think Raul should build a prototype and send it to me for evaluation. " *****

I'm thinking very serious about and I think that I will take the " Gregad word " for build a prototype of the Phonopreamp and share/send with some of you this unique experience. Interested??
It is an expensive prototype but I will do!!! Yes.

Regards and enjoy the music.
